What affects the price in Chelston
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Chelston questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
